Thought for the day....... "The world is your mirror and your mind is a magnet. What you perceive is in this world is largely a reflection of your own attitudes and beliefs. Life will give you what you attract with your thoughts think, act and talk negatively and your world will be negative. Think and act and talk with enthusiasm and you will attract positive results." Michael LeBeuf

I believe - . . .
that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be
that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
that you can keep going long after you think you can't.
that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
that either you control your attitude or it controls you.
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
that money is a lousy way of keeping score. that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.
that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.
that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.
that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.
that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

Thought for the day....... "If you don't get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don't want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold on to it forever. Your mind is your predicament. It wants to be free of change. Free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death. But change is a law, and no amount of pretending will alter that reality." Dan Millman

lf, no, I don't know who wrote the i believe; it was NOT with this when i received it yesterday or i would have posted the name too! i loved the words so i posted it....
This is AWESOME !! This Really Took Some Doing To Set Up! It's a great reference.... just click here for: God's Yellow Pages
Malachi 3:3 says: "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver."
This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God.
One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study.
That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining silver.
As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities.
The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says: "He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver." She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined.
The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed.
The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, "How do you know when the silver is fully refined?"
He smiled at her and answered, "Oh, that's easy -- when I see my image in it"
If today you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember that God has his eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in you.
Pass this on right now. This very moment, someone needs to know that God is watching over them.
And, whatever they're going through, they'll be a better person in the end.

ABC's of LIFE
Although things are not perfect Because of trial or pain Continue in thanksgiving Do not begin to blame
Even when the times are hard Fierce winds are bound to blow God is forever able Hold on to what you know
Imagine life without His love Joy would cease to be Keep thanking Him for all the things Love imparts to thee
Move out of " Camp Complaining " No weapon that is known On earth can yield the power Praise can do alone
Quit looking at the future Redeem the time at hand Start every day with worship To "thank" is a command
Until we see Him coming Victorious in the sky We'll run the race with gratitude Xalting God most high
Yes, there'll be good times and yes some will be sad, But...
Zion waits in glory...where none are ever sad! author unknown
"I AM Too blessed to be stressed!"
The shortest distance between problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor.
The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything.
Love and peace be with you forever, Amen.
PS: GOD LOVES YOU...PASS THE WORD ON TO MORE!

Thought for the day....... "If you persist in trying to attain what is never attained (It is Tao's gift), if you persist in making effort to obtain what effort cannot get, if you persist in reasoning about what cannot be understood, you will be destroyed by the very thing you seek. To know when to stop, to know when you can get no further by your own action, this is the right beginning!" Chuang Tzu (360 BC - 275 BC)
